THE FRENCH CRISIS

The Rouvier Ministry has fallen in defence
OF President Grevy. In attempting to break the
force Of the Radical assault upon the Executive
it has been defeated by the decisive vote OF
800 to 242 and forced to resign. The precise
effect Of this manGIvrc is not explained IN the
cable dispatches. The Monarchists and the En-
trcme Left by combining their forces could
have controlled the Chamber: or the Rcpub-
leans by acting together could have secured
decisive ma iOrity. How the political forces
were adjusted in this critical division VIC have
vet to learn; hut apparently the MonarchlSts
have thrown their influence against the Min
istrv in order TO overthrow il and thereby keep
President Grcvy in Office. His presence in the
Flyscc, they are well aware, now promotes
dsscnsion and antagonsm among the Rcpuh-
lean groups. If they have interviewed in hls
behalf they have acted shrcwdly. since he has
now survived his usefulness and can only create
liscord among the Government supporters.
His downfall. if it he avcrtcd temporarily by
the confusion caused through the defeat OF the
Ministry, cannot be long deferred. The giayo
official scandals in which the regulations of
General CatTarcl and VI. Wilson have been ire
ticyably ruined, have impaired the Presidents
authority. His retirement is necessary and
must follow the organization OF a new Ministry.
The Ministry which was placed in minority
Yesterday had Only been in Office since May.
Il was formed by President Grcvy himself az
IN anti -1}oulangcr Ministry and was supported
by coalition Of the MonarchiSts and ConScr
vativc Republicans. VI. Rouvier proved mcX
pcclcdly strong as Premier, his measures
adopted against General Boullngcr being car
rcd into effect with courage and trmncSs

THE DANGER ~ GTPN4VY.

Photographs can be purchased IN the streets
Of Berlin or Ncw-Yort showing four living
generations Of the House Of Ilohcnzolcrn.
Between the aged Emperor and his great
grandson in the nursery stand the son and tie
grandson. With so many links in the chain Of
succession, the stability Of German monarchy
would seem to be placed beyond dispute. Yet
appearances are nowhere more deceptive than
IN the gildcd ranks Of Royalty. The civilized
world has learned within a week with sincere
regret that one Of the links in the chain is
ready to snap almost any day. The Crown
Prince is now known to be suffering from an
Incurablc and malignant malady; and the mel
anchoy news has been received everywhere
with sorrow since he is one Of the bravcst
and nCbleSt Of royal sons and is worthy IN
every respect to succeed the venerable En-
pcror If no apprchcnSions have been excited
respecting the future Of Germany it has been
because little is known respecting Prince
IS Illam, who stands next in the order Of sue
CO, sion. The important article contributed to
TIN, issue of THE TRIBUNE by godson Of the
Crown Prince contains the startling inlorma-
tion that Prince William himself is III prcca-
iOIs health, and likely to fall victim at any
time 10 meningitis, inflammation Of the brain
or even insanity. Between the Emperor al
ninety and his grcat-grandsOn at four stand two
broken reeds shaking under the cold breath OF
mortality.
The wcll-nformcd correspondent who re-
ycals the secrets Of the Royal Palace has had
exceptional facilities for acquiring close az
qlUlintancc with the members Of the Crown
Princes household. With his disclosures be-
fore them, readers Of The TRIBUNE cannot
fail TO appreciate the full extent Of the catas-
trophc now impending in Germany. Prince
William cannot be reasonably expected to oc-
clIpy the throne very long if he ever asccndS
it. Tho prospect Of Il Regency, appalling a,
all times in Germany is rendered more alarm
ing by tho absence of available candidates ana
by the jcalousics OF court factions. If Prince
Bismarck had trained school Of statesmen
from whom his own successor could be selected
Regency would be inconvenicnt rather than
pcrilOus. This is what the Chancellor has per
sstcntly neglected TO do. lie has dislilScd
rivals and succeeded in Illuminating one after
another of his colleagues in the Ministry. The
